Jenny can move her arms and legs, and can respond using her eyes, according to Bay9 News.

It has been reported she turned away from the oncoming truck seconds before it struck to protect her womb.

Husband Angel Quiles has raised almost $10,000, £6252, after setting up a fundraising page to cover Jenny's medical costs.

Posting a photograph of his wife, he wrote: "This is my beautiful wife who got struck by a tow truck carrying our unborn baby girl.

"Protecting her child, she covered her belly like any other mom to be would have done and took the impact to her brain where now both, mom and baby are fighting for there (sic) lives."

He added: "I have nothing for the baby and the expenses we have with me unable to work are in serious need of your support. Anything will help."

He told Bay9 News: "I thought I was going to lose my baby and here we are celebrating the fact that Emmy is born and Jenny is doing better today.

"When Jenny gets out of this, I'm going to tell her thank you, thank you 10,000 times because if it wasn't for her protecting the baby at that time, we wouldn't have the baby or this conversation right now."
